Kalkan Silk Velvet Pillow Cover | The Shield of Anatolia

A Legacy of Protection

Embrace the bold geometry of the Kalkan Silk Velvet Pillow Cover. Inspired by the "Kalkan" (Shield) motif found in traditional Anatolian textiles and Seljuk architectural carvings, this design represents more than just a pattern—it is a symbol of protection, strength, and the enduring spirit of the home. The cross-like motifs interlock perfectly, creating a rhythmic shield of color and history.

Imperial Colors & Silk Luster

The vibrant interplay of Royal Pink and Golden Yellow evokes the luxury of the Silk Road:

• Shimmering Contrast: The premium silk velvet allows the colors to dance. The pink "shields" stand out against the yellow background with a luminous sheen that changes beautifully under different lighting.
• Bold Modernity, Ancient Roots: While the geometric symmetry feels strikingly modern, its roots lie in the sophisticated mathematics of the Seljuk era, making it a perfect bridge for any interior style.

Crafted for Comfort

• 100% Cotton Reverse: The opulent velvet front is balanced by a high-quality, breathable 100% pure cotton back, ensuring this statement piece is as soft to the touch as it is visually captivating.
• Durability & Art: Designed for those who treat their home as a gallery, this cover is built to maintain its plush texture and vibrant hues through years of use.

Styling Tip: The Maximalist Guard

The Kalkan is a true powerhouse of a pattern. To lean into its Seljuk roots, pair it with our Tiger Stripe or Chintamani covers. The combination of the "Power" of the Tiger and the "Protection" of the Shield creates a deeply symbolic and visually rich corner in your living space.
